High Temperature in Children
A high temperature is very common in young children. The temperature usually returns to normal within 3 or 4 days.
A normal temperature in babies and children is about 36.4C, but this can vary slightly from child to child.
A high temperature is 38C or more.
A high temperature is the body’s natural response to fighting infections like coughs and colds.
Many things can cause a high temperature in children, from common childhood illnesses like chickenpox and tonsillitis, to vaccinations.
Your child might:
feel hotter than usual when you touch their back or chest
feel sweaty
look or feel unwell
Use a digital thermometer, which you can buy from pharmacies and supermarkets, to take your child’s temperature.
You can usually look after your child or baby at home. The temperature should go down over 3 or 4 days.

If you are not sure about the medicine your child is taking, show the bottle or pack to your pharmacist.
If any of these bullet points apply, talk to a doctor or pharmacist.
If adults take this medicine:
The following additional warnings are included in case an adult takes this product.
■ You can use this medicine while you are taking oral contraceptives (‘the pill’), but it may not work so well on your pain or fever.
■ If you drink large amounts of alcohol, talk to your doctor before you take this medicine. You may be more open to the side effects of paracetamol. If this applies to you, talk to a doctor before use.
■ If necessary, the medicine can be used during pregnancy. You should use the lowest possible dose that reduces your pain and/or your fever and use it for the shortest time possible. Contact your doctor or pharmacist if the pain and/or fever are not reduced
or if you need to take the medicine more often.
■ Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine if you are breastfeeding
Some of the ingredients can cause problems
■ This medicine contains 8 mg aspartame (E951) in each tablet. Aspartame is a source of phenylalanine.
It may be harmful if you have phenylketonuria (PKU), a rare genetic disorder in which phenylalanine builds up because the body cannot remove it properly.
■ This medicine contains mannitol (E421), which may have a mild laxative effect.
■ This medicine contains 0.00064mg benzyl alcohol in each tablet. Benzyl alcohol may cause allergic reactions. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have a liver or kidney disease. This is because large amounts
of benzyl alcohol can build-up in your body and may cause side effects (called “metabolic acidosis”).
■ This medicine contains 0.0011g glucose in each tablet. If you have been told by your doctor that you have an intolerance to some sugars, contact your doctor before taking this medicine
